We are an innovative International Graphic Design School in Florence, Italy

Switch Design Academy & Studio is a graphic design school created by designers and architects, Switch Design Academy revolutionises the traditional design education process. Switch is both an academy and a studio: it features a dual curriculum in order for students to both complete their design education and develop their portfolios. Students attend regular lectures where they are taught the fundamental principles of Graphic Design. Instead of completing projects merely outlined to satisfy a curriculum, students rather apply the techniques assimilated in class to a series of real-world projects with real clients. Working simultaneously with professors and clients, students graduate with a breadth of technical knowledge as well as working experience. International Graphic Design School in Florence, Italy.
